...management, led by chairman Max Link and Rietiker, assembled in June and told Scruggs to pursue a deal. He crafted a creative solution in which a trust would be created for the victims and guaranteed by a lien on all company assets. Of each year's profits--$113 million in 2000--Medica's management could use about half to run the company. The other half would go to the injured patients, who would receive expenses and as much as $97,500 in cash and equity. Those who elected not to join in the settlement could still sue but couldn...

...Castro was born in Rio and grew up in a luxurious apartment on Avenida Atlantica. As a teen, he listened to American soul music. "At that time Max liked to copy Prince," says Joao Marcello Boscoli, a friend of De Castro's and head of Trama, his record label. "He used to slide across the floor to open the door, playing an imaginary guitar." Soon De Castro discovered the great Brazilian music that had been playing around him all along--Powell, Ben and Moacir Santos. His embrace of the music of his homeland was only logical. His father Wilson Simonal...
